Folding the coupons behind the bond was also typical, you even see it on some U.S. bonds. Though I don&#039;t collect them specifically, I do have a few foreign bonds and several from early 20th century like yours are still sharp and crisp (the one below is not engraved either). Paper stacked in a vault can hold up quite well over the decades. I&#039;m not sure you have reason to worry, but I&#039;d be interested to hear what you learn at the antique show.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fyi, the National Stock &amp; Bond Show is held near Dulles Airport in January. <a href="http://www.rsschell.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.rsschell.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rsschell.com/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]349383[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
